Darrington Logs Bridgeport
By Colin Caruso

The Emerald City Kickoff Classic always comprises great matchups throughout the state in high school football. The ‘Jamboree’ week kicked off with the Bridgeport Mustangs and the Darrington Loggers, both schools of less than 200 students. Bridgeport had a down year last year, winning only one game, while Darrington put up a solid 7-4 record in 2013.

Both teams battled equally in the first quarter, with the ball hovering around midfield and the score remaining at 0-0. Darrington began to awaken in the second quarter.

Lane Monteith, a 5’9 215 pound senior for the Loggers took over the contest both offensively and defensively. He scored two touchdowns in the second quarter, and led all players in tackles with 6.5 total, 5 solo.

With such small enrollment, neither team had more than 20 players suited, and Darrington finished the game with just 13 players due to injuries throughout the course of the game. Look for the Loggers to continue to play great football on the back of Monteith and their quarterback Trent Green.

Darrington finished off Bridgeport 35-7. It looks like Bridgeport will continue to rebuild this year, but look for a better result overall than last season.

Top Performers:
Bridgeport
Jonathan Oregon, 12 carries for 93 yards

Darrington
Lane Monteith, 9 carries for 52 yards, 2TDs, 6.5 tackles

Darrington Loggers Chop Down Seattle Lutheran
By Colin Caruso

On a beautiful day in Seattle with the sun shining, the Darrington Loggers traveled south to the big city to take on the Seattle Lutheran Saints. Both of these teams seemingly didn’t want to hold onto the football for the first quarter, which saw six turnovers, three from each team prior to a Bruce Massingale 99 yard score from the Loggers. The Saints turned the ball over again on their next possession, and this time Lane Monteith pounded the ball in the endzone for the Loggers, taking a 12-0 lead into the second quarter.

The game turned sour for the Saints in the second quarter. Two more turnovers for the Saints and a 28 point quarter for the Loggers really put this game out of reach. The Saints were able to get on the board late in the second quarter with a great TD run by Abijah Smith, but still they trailed 40-7 at the half.

The Loggers would tack on two more scores in the third quarter, and an additional score in the fourth, to bring their total to a whopping 60 points on the day. Darrington now moves to 4-0 overall with a good opportunity to make a run deep into the playoffs.

Lane Monteith – 8 carries 39 yards, 2TD
